BIOGRAPHY

Kirsty Gilmour was chosen to make her Olympic debut at Rio 2016 fresh from winning a silver medal at that year’s European Championships.

That was Scotland’s first-ever European Championship medal, while Gilmour also won a silver medal for her country in the singles event at Glasgow 2014.

Eight months after competing in the group stages of the women’s singles at Rio 2016, she won yet another European silver in Denmark, before reaching the quarter-finals at the World Championships in Glasgow.
